Amerigo Vespucci died in Spain on February 22, 1512 of an unknown illness, which some attribute to malaria. At the time of his death he was married, to Maria Cerezo. They were together for 7 years then Amerigo died. Before then though, Amerigo sailed on 4 voyages between the years 1497-1503. On his 3 voyage though, that's when he discovered that what Columbus had discovered was not Asia, it was new land, now named after him, America.

Fact: Some people say he was born on March 9, 1451. That is false, he was born on March 9, 1454.
